Winter Health Tips:  The month of December is about to end and with this the cold season has also begun. Due to winter, many physical and mental problems can occur, including heart attack (Winter Heart Attack), stroke, high blood pressure and seasonal affective disorder.

Let us tell you that the risk of heart attack is also very high in winter. Therefore, there is a need to be more careful about the heart in this season. Here we are going to tell you 5 such everyday tips (Winter Heart Safety Tips) that can help in keeping your heart healthy.

Do not sleep wearing woolen clothes

To keep the body warm, we wear woolen sweaters and coats etc. in the winter season. Woolen clothes lock the heat coming out of the body inside. Due to this, the body temperature becomes higher than the outside temperature.

Wearing woolen clothes while sleeping at night keeps your body temperature high while you are sleeping and this can cause BP problems or breathing problems. This can cause damage to the heart. Therefore, try not to sleep wearing woolen clothes. Even if you are wearing them, wear cotton clothes inside and wear a thin sweater.

do not get up suddenly

In winters, our arteries constrict to reduce heat loss. This slows down blood flow. Therefore, do not get out of bed and start your daily routine as soon as you wake up in the morning. Doing this can cause heart attack, high blood pressure or dizziness.

So after waking up in the morning, sit on the bed for a few minutes and stretch your hands. After this, lower your legs and shake them a little. Sit on the bed for a while, then get down from the bed. This will improve blood circulation and will not harm the heart.

Do not exercise for more than 15 minutes

In winters, strenuous exercise should not be done for more than 15 minutes. While exercising, our body temperature changes and it is unable to balance itself with the outside temperature. This has a negative effect on the heart.

Therefore, if you are doing strenuous exercise, do not do it for more than 15 minutes and take breaks in between. Also, keep yourself hydrated while exercising and do not suddenly take off warm clothes and start exercising.

Take bath for 5-10 minutes only

In winter, instead of taking a bath with hot or cold water, take a bath with lukewarm water. Let us tell you that even if you take a bath with cold water, first pour water on your feet. Pouring water directly on the head causes the brain nerves to shrink due to cold, which increases blood pressure.

Due to this, a vein in the brain can burst and a stroke can occur. Therefore, pour water on the feet so that the body gets time to adjust to that temperature. By the way, the best way to bathe in winter is to bathe in lukewarm water for 5-10 minutes. This will not dry the skin and also reduce the risk of stroke .

Do not run the heater continuously

The heater absorbs the moisture from the air and also reduces the oxygen level. Also, it increases the level of a toxic gas called carbon monoxide, which can cause suffocation and dehydration. Dehydration causes the blood to thicken, which makes the heart work harder to pump blood.

This increases the risk of heart attack. Therefore, do not use heater or blower continuously. Take special care of ventilation while using the heater and keep a humidifier or a bucket of water in the corner of the room to maintain humidity in the room.
